Changes in xmp files not recognized n Lightroom

In my workflow i have setup for changes to be made to the xmp files by a program other than lightroom. In the previous version of Lightroom i had tested this, it worked fine. When i made a change to the xmp file, Lightroom recognized the change and displayed/rendered the image appropriately. Now, I am using version 2.2 and this is not happening. I see the option in th Metadat dropdown menu for "Read Metadata from File". If i click this it works. Is there an option for this to automatically happen that i am missing? If there isnt, why not? Also, I have noticed that Lightroom does not automatically write/update the xmp file if that option is enabled when using the develop module. Can anyone help me with this?

Read has never been automatic, and write is automatic but not instantly - it does it when time is available. You can use synchronize instead of read if you want to, but again, it's not automatic.

Replacing .xmp sidecar files not recognized in Lightroom 3.6- Lr 'Guru' Question Alert!

- I have 'Automatically write changes ino XMP' checked
- I have not moved my catalog or files for years and only continue to add files to my catalog.
ISSUE:
I made some accidental global changes to about 600 .cr2 raw images and to save me time in recovering from each change I made, I closed Lightroom and then deleted the sidecar .xmp files in the folder. I then copied the .xmp files from a backup created and then launched Lightroom again- there was no indication that the metadata had been changed and thought that was odd. I right-clicked on the folder and slected 'Synchronize Folder' and the only option was 'scan for metadata updates' so I tried to synchronize from there- still no changes made to the image previews. The Metadata -> Sync Metadata option was grayed-out so that wasn't an option either.
What I finally had to do was highlight all the files in the Library module and select Photo -> Read Metadata From Files and ONLY after that did the previews update and read from the newly imported .xmp files.
So, my question is WHY did Lightroom not see that the .xmp files were changed as I have experienced in the past?

I would have done Read Metadata from Files as my first choice.
From what you say, the LR metadata data was newer than the XMP metadata date and LR’s metadata updated date was newer than the XMP file-modification date so why would LR overwrite its newer metadata with older XMP metadata with a Synchronize? It might have worked the way you wanted if you had changed the file-modification date to be something current, by using a “touch” command or editing the contents of the XMP files, but LR seems to have done the right thing by not updating its internal metadata from and older XMP file using Synchronize and requiring an explicit command to do so.
It used to be impossible to update XMP files to the current set of edits if LR thought the metadata was current even if you explicitly commanded it to Write Metadata to Files, so Adobe has made adjustments to how LR and sidecars work together.
If LR used to revert edits based on older XMP sidecar files, that sounds wrong, and probably Adobe has fixed things to work in a more safe manner.
Do you remember if you saw an ! on the thumbnails indicating a metadata conflict or was LR completely unaware that the XMP files had been reverted to an earlier copy?

NIKON D800E files not recognized in lightroom 4.4

my lightroom 4 is up to date (waiting for lightroom 5 to be given to me - apparently they are having ordering issues so may take 24 hrs and i need to finish this project NOW)
why does it not recognize NIKON D800E files? is there a way around this or do i have to wait for my lightroom 5 to be delivered?
getting a message saying 'The files are not recognized by the raw format support in lightroom. (517)'
thanks!

That makes sense, especially if the NEFs are also not readable in LR5.
To correct any corruption from using obsolete Nikon software on newer camera NEFs, you can use the utility, here:

Nikon D40x raw files not recognized by Lightroom.

Any updates available for the Nikon D40x ?

It has only been supported since Camera RAW 4.1, so will probably come in the 1.1 update.
You can check the list of ACR and Lightroom supported cameras at:
http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/cameraraw.html
You can use the Adobe DNG Converter to convert your D40x files to DNG and they will be readable by Lightroom 1.0 and earlier versions of ACR.

If your library is in the standard layout of an iTunes folder containing an iTunes Media folder (and you've already copied over the media) then you can simply copy the iTunes library files and album artwork folder across to the new machine recreating the same layout. If the media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder then see make a split library portable for a way to get the library into a portable form, after which you can copy over the library files.

New Nikon Df camera RAW files not recognized in Bridge and Photoshop.

New Nikon Df camera RAW files not recognized in Bridge and Photoshop. Is there a fix? Surely Adobe make a mistake and not keep up with Nikon.

I looked at the current list http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html and did not see the Nikon DF listed.
Would post in ACR forum and see if they know anything more. http://forums.adobe.com/community/cameraraw

Troubles with xmp files not loading...

I'm having troubles with xmp files not loading with images but are present in the image folders. does anyone know why this is happening and if there is a way to fix this. Also when trying to load the xmp individually they are grayed out and unable to load. I have tried this on different machines (Macs) and still no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated in this issue.

> The information contained in the XMP file is stored in the DNG file so there is no need for a separate file.
Aww, yuck!! That's a real drag...
When editing lots of files (yesterday's shoot produced 8GB) I back everything up to off-line storage and then, after doing all my edits and crops in ACR, I only have to copy over the small XMP files which takes no time at all.
So if I re-edit the DNG with ACR I have to re-copy ALL the files again to the off-line storage.
I used to sometimes even save 2 versions of the xmp files when I needed 2 different crops of the same images, such as doing a wide screen 'cinema' crop for a corporate client's Intranet presentation of their event, as well as more standard crops to be used for their newsletters.
Guess I won't be using DNG any more..
Thanks for the help Kees :-)

Camera RAW, file not recognized after import and migration, Aperture 2.1

Hi,
I have recently purchased a 1DMKIII and am constantly getting "file not recognized" after I import and even after migrating RAW files. My 1DS MK1 RAW files have no issues. The RAW files render just fine using CS4 bridge. Any ideas here on a fix? Other than ditching Aperture (not desireable)
Thanks,
Greg

I shoot RAW and the iMac will not recognize the NEF RAW files! this is soo frustrating - tried to update Camera Raw but to no avail.
please help! I've got 987 raw wedding photos to process!!
I dont know what to do!

.RAF files not recognized in bridge but PS ok. Patch 7.1 installed.

.RAF files not recognized in bridge but PS ok. Patch 7.1 installed. Anyone know the fix?

To me it seems related to your Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) converter. Clue inhere is you only miss the Raw files and have no problems in seeing other formats like jpeg and tiff.
The screenshot you delivered is from the wrong library, however, this same library (the one on system level) also is the location where you should be able to view the correct version of your ACR plugin. The path: library (same as per your screenshot)/Application support/ Adobe/ Plug ins/ CS6/ File Formats. inhere should be only one version of Camera Raw (called: "Camera Raw.plugin") and this should show version 8.3 (141).
I'm not sure about your bridge version number, Bridge 5 comes with PSCS6 but my most recent version of Bridge is 5.0.2.4.
Anyway, if you have only one ACR (8.3) installed in the above mentioned path then you might want to try to delete the Bridge plist file and Bridge cache file manually.
For this you have to Quit Bridge and find the user library (by default hidden, use menu Go in Finder and press option key to reveal).
Inhere find the plist file (user(your user name) / library / Preferences and inhere find and manually delete the file called: "com.adobe.bridge5.plist"
The in same user library find Bridge Cache. User/Library/Caches/Adobe/Bridge CS6. Inhere are 2 files, the adobe Bridge plug in cache and the folder called Cache. delete (or move outside libray) both items.
The restart Bridge (If needed also again hold option key to reset preferences) and this will create fresh files for the previous deleted items, leaving you with an almost out of the box factory set version of Bridge.

Sony RX1R not recognized by lightroom 5.3. What should I do?

My Sony RX1R is not recognized by lightroom 5.3. In the import window it appears a "no name", and the images on the cam are not recognized. What should I do?

The Sony RX1R was supported beginning with LR 5.0 so LR 5.3 should be ok: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
Try taking the card out of your camera and put it in a card reader and then see what happens. If you are already doing this, then try copying the images from the card to your hard-drive using an OS-level function like Windows Explorer or Finder and then import from the HD.
It is possible that there is a Sony driver interfering with the transfer of images directly from the camera to the computer via LR. It is also possible that the images are not being correctly stored on the memory card in the first place so are corrupted before LR touches them—this could be something wrong with the camera or the card.

XMP file not loading

Hi,
Using latest Lightrooms CC on two diff Mac OSX 10.10.2 – I was doing corrections on machine 1 via XMP file and the files dont load on machine 2. Interestingly I can see the changes perfectly on Bridge, but not in Lightrooms. Never had this problem before, all of sudden today they dont want to load up. Any suggests please?
Regards
Bini

Biniman,
This behavior is correct and expected. Lightroom doesn't automtically read metadata from XMP files, instead it considers the Catalog to be the "plan of record."
However, LR will notify you when another program (in your case, a different instance of LR) makes changes to the metadata, by showing a small "exclamation mark" icon on the thumbnail border. If you hover over this thumbnail, you'll see the message that "the metadata was changed by another external program." Clicking will give you the option to overwrite the Catalog data with the changes on disk, or to overwrite the external data.
"Automatically write metadata changes to files" is a setting that is intended to be a one way street. It doesn't automatically read that metadata back, and there's no setting to cause it to do so.
I hope this helps clarify!

XMP files not moved

I have searched the fourm and there are a couple of responses to similar questions, but I I can't seen to find how to move the XMP files when I drag a folder of photos from one external drive to another external drive.
I drag the folder with 500 photos over the photos go but I get a message saying the following files did not transfer and its all my XMP files for the images I transfered. How can I get the folders and the edits to transfer from a 500gb to a 4TB external hard drive
Thank you in advanced

Lr creates XMP-files only for Raw images - although the box in >catalog Settings >Metadata tab speaks of " ... write changes to XMP>.
But true XMP-files in the sense of side-car files, i.e a separate little file that sites next to its image file are only created in the case of Raw images. In the case of JPGs, TIFFs, PSDs the changes are written into the header of the file (but not in the image pixels!) and a separate xmp-file is not created.
Lr saves changes to XMP (i.e. writes the changes into the header of JPGs, TIFFs, PSDs and creates separate "true" xmp-files for Raw images) only if you do this either manually (by pressing Ctrl / Cmd + S / or doing >Metadata >Save Metadata to file) or by checking the box <Automatically write changes to XMP> in >Catalog Settings >Metadata tab.
I you do neither of these, Lr will not save to XMP and will not create xmp side-car files for Raw images.
My remark about <Show hidden files> was not meant for Lr. What I meant was that you move the files in your OS (Mac Finder / Win Explorer); and in Win Explorer is an option to <Show Hidden Files> under >Tools >Folder Options >View tab.
If you move images in your OS Lr will show the old folder with a question mark and will show images as "missing". You then have to re-link Lr to the new location of the images.
See here on how to do that: http://www.computer-darkroom.com/lr2_find_folder/find-folder.htm
Since it seems to work now, better stay with moving images from within Lr - until you understand the issues involved in moving images in your OS.

DNG files not visible in Lightroom 2.5

I've installled Lightroom 2.5 in my old desktop (Pentium 4, 1 GB RAM, Windows XP Home SP 3). After I've imported my camera RAW (NEF) images into Lightroom as DNG, I can see the photo info but photos are not visible.How can I make them visible?

I wonder if you have been using sidecars, as I had assumed. Maybe you've got a metadata template? "XMP files" norrmally refers to sidecars, but could refer to templates too. So which is it? How exactly have you been assigning this file to images in Photoshop? I don't know the detail of Photo Mechanic, though I'm betting your friend has been applying a template. If you do this first, you can then use that Read metadata technique. Once you've done that once, in LR you can save the metadata as a preset, or sync it to other images. Sadly LR can't read metadata templates directly.
